Should I see my general dentist while I have braces?

Posted on March 4, 2016

Yes, absolutely! In order to maintain a beautiful smile, frequently visiting both your general dentist and orthodontist will help ensure a healthy smile.

Some patients struggle with proper oral hygiene and brushing with braces. You should continue to see your general dentist every 4-6 months for regular cleaning and check-ups. Normally, a general dental check-up is performed every six months, but Cardinal Orthodontics actively promotes more frequent visits to your general dentist for cleanings.
